I have never heard of an ad-free lockscreen on Kindle and I pay for Kindle Unlimited. So I have to pay even more to get ad-free, if that's even possible. And I'm sure that's just for Kindle. Need to cough up a few more dollars for ad-free Prime Video. And ad-free shopping on Amazon. And that's just one service. Can't wait to hear what I'd need to spend for the same if I used Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and a Quest even though Meta owns all of them. And I can just imagine the hellscape Microsoft will create when you have to pay a subscription fee to use Windows 12 Home With Ads, as your baseline option.

The average American isn't exactly awash in cash to spend on privacy, you know.
